Genuinely awful lyrics and forced rhyming scheme.  Sucko-barfo.

This is god-awful. Please make it stop. Repetitive, boring, horrible voice to boot,

I think that if I'd only heard the first couple of minutes then I might have quite liked it, but I REALLY don't like that ending. Shame.

I head the acoustic version of this song a long time ago and it is a much better version. Way more energy and emotion to it.

This reminds me that I need to listen to more from Lisa Hannigan (who sings beautifully with Rice on this track).  Her recent solo album Passenger is great.

I'm amazed at all the negative comments. I think this is a fantastic, simple, elegant song... (one might even say 'soooo good for the ears').

The 'cat' noises are these cool stringed instruments that are typically played with bows called cellos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cello).

Me too.  I love the duet outro.   Needs a decent sound system to do it justice.

Check out "9 Crimes" on the follow up LP.  Stunning.

Love this song and this album. I wish his second album was anywhere near as good (it's still good, but much less so).

It's like when you hear someone say, "I liked that song until I found out it was by (insert name here)". Again, either you like it or you don't. "Popular" doesn't equal "good". If other people have a problem with it, screw 'em. I for one really like this song, but Damien Rice overall is hit-or-miss with me. For the songs that work, they are great, but there are quite a few that are a little too slow, sparse, and melancholic for me. BTW, I also like DMB. Got a problem with that?
 
Uhh.... good point. But you might think about cutting back the steroid consumption a wee bit. Wouldn't want you to go all Brock-Sampson on us and start ripping the heads off emoticons!

Not exactly my cup o tea. 

Please....someone feed those cats!

I'll give it a 3, but reserve the right to downgrade it the next time it's played.

I was listening to this and went to rate it, as i was reading this exact comment (see above) the voices trying to make it into a round started..
I agree, It doesn't work at all..and up until that point I had it in the 6-7 range...
